Dominique Demont

The friendship between Steven Rodby and Dominique Fillon has naturally lead Dominique to record his album in Chicago for his latest album. Chicago is well-known for being the city of jazz where giants of jazz have recorded their album like Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Patricia Barber or Kurt Elling - just to name a few. As of today, Chicago remains the temple of jazz and is the place to go for any cosmopolitan artist like Dominique Fillon. With Steven Rodby playing the bass, he wished to be back to this team of Australian jazz with Nic Cecire on drums, to record the way they did back in the days at the famous Chicago Recording CRC, with the engineer Helik Hadar for supervising.

Skeptikern sei garantiert: Weill wurde nicht verfälscht. Aber in der fetzigen Interpretation durch die Band, vor allem durch Horwitz´ markante und wandlungsfähige Stimme, durch seinen frechen Zugriff auf Text und Musik bekommen diese viel geliebten Songs etwas ungemein Heutiges (…) Zum Auftakt eine kurze Verbeugung vor dem Original (und) dann geht´s los – so rasant, so keß, gleichsam auch so sensibel und zart, insgesamt so unvorhersehbar, daß es einem mitunter scheint, als würde man etwa das Eifersuchtsduett oder das Lied der Seeräuberjenny zu ersten Mal hören.

Original melodies by pianist and composer Louis Dominique Roy get their first airing on Rêves enclos, a new recording with baritone Olivier Laquerre. Roy’s songs are set to poems by some of Québec’s greatest poets, including Émile Nelligan, Alfred DesRochers, Arthur de Bussières, Hector de Saint-Denys-Garneau, and Gilles Vigneault. The composer accompanies Laquerre on these Québécois melodies, several of which also feature Sébastien Lépine, cello, and Louis-Philippe Marsolais, horn.

'Stay Tuned!' is Dominique Fils-Aimé’s sophomore album, the follow-up to her debut full length 'Nameless', part of her trilogy that brings to center stage the resiliency of mankind in the face of adversity and oppression and pays homage to Afro-American history and culture.
